Controllers and Music services

I checked out the Sonos player today at best buy and have a question about inserting tracks. If I have a bunch of songs in the queue and suddenly feel like hearing a certain song can I insert that track to be played next without losing the queue ?

I have a server full of MP3 and WMA Lossless - and Sonos on the way. So I guess I'll be converting the WMA Lossless to FLAC. There are lots of utilities for converting, getting cover art, etc. Does anyone recommend one system that will rip, organize, get cover art and do other cleanup in a way that is completely compatible with Sonos? To date I only use Windows Media Player and it works well enough. J River Media Center, WinAmp... suggestions?

So when I listen to an on demand show on Apple Music via the Sonos I can't fast forward it. This is annoying because I may have listened to half of the show on my iPhone on the way home, and want to hear the rest on the Sonos. I'd have to play from the start. It can be done from within the Apple Music app on the phone, but I can't see how to do it on the Sonos.

Help! My kids have managed to change the language settings on my CR200 to Chinese (or something like it - i don't understand a Word of it but it looks like chinese characters). How do I reset the Controller back to English Language? I'm not able to navigate through the menu since I do not understand any of the menu text...

As many of us are being thrown off of our CR100's, and forced onto an external third party device, please use this thread to say what device you will use or have tried, and advise what settings and configurations make it work. Please keep it on topic, use the "Save the CR100" thread to put the world to rights on the bricking of our functioning devices. Life must go on, The CR100 will die, lets try to help each other find our best solution. To start, I have just purchased a Lenovo Tab 7 Essential, 7" screen so similar overall size to the controller, ordered through Tesco Direct, very fast service available in 3 hours from ordering. Tesco added a discount so got it for £62, although They advertised it as the Tab 4 7" which is actually a different unit with slightly higher res and should retail at £99 rather than £69 anyway its fine at the right price. both run Android 7.0 So set it up with no security as I don't want a pin entry each time I pick it up. Installed Sono

Does anyone know when we can expect Sonos to integrate with google Home Assistant?

Hello, I have a sonos play 1 and over the past few weeks I have had issues with my phone sonos controller not connecting, stating it cannot connect to sonos. Despite this my sonos continues to connect to Spotify and work when the play button is pressed. Any idea on how to fix it. Have tried deleting the app and downloading again with no joy.

update to 8.5.1 Did an update on my windows 10, Samsung Galaxy tab S2 and Samsung Galaxy phone S8 today... almost... Phone says its not compatible. Anyone else have a problem? is this specifically a Galaxy S8 issue, or are other phones also incompatible?

I use Downcast to aggregate the podcasts I listen to.

I am unable to edit current queue, including skip, pause, volume adjust. Diagnostic #1871781398.

I've recently purchased a Playbar, Sub and 2 x Play 1's. I am using an LG 55EF9500 TV and a Logitech Harmony Elite remote. I originally setup the remote using IR to directly control the Playbar, as if it were a standard TV remote. Sound went up and down just fine. The Playbar blinked it's light each time so you had some sense of it receiving the signal (which I liked) but the LG TV gave out an annoying message. Since then, I've added the Sonos Playbar as a device to my Logitech Harmony Elite remote. I guess this means that it's now being controlled by my hub over wifi. No more annoying TV messages when sound goes up and down (which is good), but also no more blinking light on the Playbar, which I miss. Is there a way to bring back the functionality to the Playbar indicating it's receiving volume up/down or do I have to give that up? I've had a read of some of the Logitech Harmony posts and articles, but can't seem to find info on this. Maybe I just need to get used to kn

I can understand why the sleep timer was so basic when it ran on the old controllers. Now that it's running on smart phones why is it still so primitive? How about either letting people select the clock time to shut off (e.g. 1:30) or at least control the number of minutes/hours to play before stopping. Only allowing 15 minutes, 1/2 hour, 1 hour or 2 hours is just not nearly flexible enough.

I've got three Sonos units and each one has a dedicated widget on my phone's homescreen. Tapping a widget used to open the Sonos app and take me straight to that room. This seems to no longer be the case? Tapping any widget now just opens the app at whichever room was last in focus. Is this a known bug, and is there a fix on the horizon?

Hi, I just updated my Sonos software and now my 2 CR100's no longer works! There was no warning of this. Can I roll back the update? This is completely unacceptable.

Just did the update, really. Last version worked perfectly. How do we go backwards with an update. Unresponsive and slow as hell.

I can play my spotify playlist through Sonos ok. But when I want to add a new song to the playlist, I can't because the add option is greyed out. Anyone know how to do this?

I have no sound coming from my play 1 surround speakers when thebtv is playing. Here is my diagnostic number 4067673.

I cannot add my music file. My PC controller 8.5 gets an error message says "the computer is not responding" (computer is otherwise fine). Checked firewalls and they allow access.

I have been a happy user and ambasador for Sonos for 14 years. During 14 years I have had to restart the controller once or twice. Then Sonos choosed to discontinue development of their controller. My controller "died" 4 month ago, and I was forced to substitute it with tablets and phones. Now I have nothing but trouble; most of it probably related to my wifi which is my problem and not Sonos´ problem. I prefer to use my sparetime listening to music, not trouble shooting. I can no longer reccomend Sonos.At all.

New to sonos and bought the Play:3. Want to stream music from a fan website for a specific band. Is this possible?

How can I block someone who is in my house in another room changing the music? Is there another way to do this without changing the passwords on spotify or pandora or my router? Changing the password to the sonos account does nothing. I wish there was a password i could set that was needed every time someone starts sonos from a different device. If you have the sonos app you only have to connect to the existing system and then Im back to square one. I wish I could see a list of active devices on my Sonos system. Then I could block those I don't want playing annoying DJ while a party is going on.

I just recently updated SONOS but have no idea what was updated and what the affect was. I have searched for the info on that and can not seem to locate any info. Where do I get that info?

For MacOS only, looks like. Should cut down on a good bit of the whining here. Good old Apple refused to host it in their App Store, lol. A hole in their walled garden. https://9to5mac.com/2017/12/04/audiobridge-airplay-sonos/

I'm a long-time Sonos user who is very disappointed that Sonos has made my iPad1 (four of them) incompatible with the latest update. I understand not being able to use the latest features, but to make them completely unusable to me is bad policy (in conjunction with Apple). Anyway, I have declined to update to the latest update (I currently have two iPhone 5/6 along with the four iPad1). My question is how do I stop Sonos from nagging me to update? Every few times I go into the app, I get the update message. I thought there was a way to stop those alerts. If so, how? Thanks
